After hearing about the disgusting hate mail that you have received, I would like to express my support and concern about the way ordinary muslims are being blamed by some people for the actions of extremists who may or may not have portrayed themselves as muslims. The outrage last Tuesday must be looked at in the context of all terrorist actions and I sincerely hope that the US Govornment does not commit revenge attacks that would involve innocent people in the Middle East.

For the record, I am a white English agnostic and I believe that the vast majority of people in the UK share similar views.

I was moved to write to you - I\'ve never done anything like this before -

to say how much that interview shocked me. Surely people realise that what happened on Tuesday had nothing to do with religion? The killers didn\'t care what religion the passengers on those planes belonged to, they didn\'t care what religion the people of Manhattan belonged to - they murdered them anyway.

I am British, white-skinned, and I\'m not a muslim. But I am quite sure that all of us in Britain were shocked and horrified at this attack on the people of Britain, of America, of the world. I wanted to write, just to let you know, that I am sure most people believe that we must all now stand up for law, for tolerance, and respect for one another, and that is how we recognise the terrorists. I feel sorrow and sympathy for all my friends in America, and today I just wanted to say that I think I now also understand how this horror has a special pain for you. I am sorry for that.

The hate mails sent to MCB are just appauling. Muslims world over have declared unequivocally that we DO NOT support this incident. We feel the same grief over the incident as does everybody else. And I don't think we have to produce some kind of a license to prove that we are telling the truth. We are saddened by this incident whether someone believes it or not. As for some Palestinians celebrating, a lot of hindu extremist organisations in India & around the world are also 'internally' celebrating, because they know that some muslim countries will be bombed & muslims will be killed. And also, whenever the USA bombed Iraq & killed several innocent people almost all Americans supported the incident. Israel was even wishing that a war broke out so that all Iraqis would be wiped out. What about all this?

to all muslims, i speak for me and only me. i am a white british male and was born and bred here. i have no trouble to offer muslims worldwide.what has happened is barbaric. I do not blame all muslims for what happened in america.

i must say one thing thing though,

MAY THE TALIBAN AND IT'S MEMBERS DIE THE MOST VILEST OF DEATHS.

Its distressing to hear there are so many emails that are generalizing all muslims to be terrorists. Why does the media encourage this? Why doesn't the media show the Israeli soldiers torturing Muslims and hanging Muslims heads on the walls? This has been going on for years. How about the IRA? how come they are not referred to as Christian Catholic extremists? How come when the IRA have committed many bomb lasts i.e. in Omagh and London, no-one mentions that all Irish people are bad people? Remember the Oklahoma bombing? They were all saying the day after the attack that Muslims were behind it, only to find out that it was committed by a Non Muslim. They never even apologized to muslims that they wrongly accused them. Why are only Muslims mentioned as extremists? The media seriously need to change their stance on how they show events on TV, because it seems as if they are trying to promote that fact that all muslims are terrorists. There are terrorists from all religions in the world, but it does not mean all religions are bad. I have heard so many muslims getting attacked in London, i.e. a muslim woman getting stabbed in Finsbury Park, but this has not been shown at all in the news, but when ONE single white man gets attacked, everyone hears about it. This is unjust. Innocent mosques in America are getting petrol bombed. Aren't they terrorist attacks? The only way peace will occur if the media shows events in a fair manner. We always see israeli eople dying when they get attacked, but we hardly see the palestinians babies dying on the news, when this happens all the time. WHY? Its about time the media spoke the truth. I condemn the attacks on America, but it eems as if the media is using this attack to wipe out all the muslims in this world
